ultimately liable for war crimes. He can be court-martialed under the Uniform
Code of Military Justice provisions for enforcing patently illegal orders
through the military chain of command in the commission of crimes that wantonly

relief of the Iraqi people.

by public relations firm Hill and Knowlton, in the employ of corporations in the
extractive industries.
